Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old, and the jaundice has mostly subsided. However, the baby has been constantly bloated and crying non-stop. Is there a connection between the cause of the jaundice and the bloating? I would like to ask how to deal with the baby's jaundice and bloating.Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic jaundice is often accompanied by anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, petechiae, edema, and heart failure. Infectious jaundice is commonly associated with fever, symptoms and signs of infection. Obstructive jaundice is often accompanied by hepatomegaly, pale-colored stools, and yellow urine. There may be some symptoms of abdominal distension, but if jaundice symptoms subside and abdominal distension with crying occurs, it may be due to other underlying causes. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination promptly.
